Thank to another Lyn. All the replies have been right. Did John Daley/ Daly marry in Australia ? His wife Catherine died on the ship on the way out here, and they had 8 children. Thank you, Carol, S.A.

Thank you to Lyn Craig and Judy for your help with my enquiry. Cheers, Carol, S.A.

Is someone able to explain to me how I can copy and paste from a PDF. Would really appreciate help as I have never tried this before. cheers Lyn

Hi Carol Victorian Registration # 8887 John Daley 1874 72 yrs Father: John Mother: Margaret Hickey Lyn

Thank you Gaylene, That is the family, you have just filled in some of the gaps for me. John Percy always signed his name with an itt always dotting the "i", but seems mostly to be recorded as ett. During some of my research his sated birthplace becomes dodgy, on his marriage cert. he says he comes from Stratford le Bow, but I have found the itt's come from Tring?? I have found no entry into Aust. for him so have decided to find out all I can about him and it may lead to something. Checked the appropriate census in UK but have not found him or his parents John and Sarah nee Mayo. Thank you again Margaret of Oakey

Hi Listers, Thank you to Gail, Rowena, Susan, Norman, Bev, and Tom for your response and advise. Ballarat is not on the itenery as far as I know the Crocketts never went there which I found unusual Susan but you never know. Yes Norman I knew about John Percy's death he died with his clarinet in his hand from a heart attack on his way home from playing in the Tivoli in Sydney. Maldon is not on our itinery either, being a "girls own adventure" my daughter has mapped out the course (she is a scout leader??) but there still could be infomation there. Whroo has I know so will visit the history centre there. Thank you again for all your encouragement, you have made me more anxious to get going. Margaret of Oakey

Good morning listers, After wishing and hoping for the last 40yrs I am finally on my way on Thurs 8th from Qld to the goldfields to follow the route my ggrandmother took with her husband and visiting all the 12 towns where she had her babies. Am looking forward to gathering more information of their daily lives and treading the paths they trod, hoping to find out more about my ggrandfather who is a bit of a mystery. John Percy Crockett "look out!" He worked for the Goulburn Valley Butter Co. so hope there is some info still out there there is nothing available online. Maybe I will meet a lister. Margaret of Oakey

Hi Listers What a great response to my queries today. Thank you to all who responded on/off list. For the records, I can now confirm: Charles’s 1st wife’s name was Fanny COVE, father William Sands COVE and mother Sarah unknown. Fanny died suddenly in 1908 at The Vicarage, Hamilton and is buried in Hamilton, Victoria (not Ballarat) Their four children were born in Victoria, Australia between 1877 and 1892 Charles Roy, Annie Amelia died aged 1yr, Reginald Benson and Fannie May HARRIS Charles remarried in Ballarat and returned to Sydney in retirement. He died in Rose Bay, Sydney in 1934 My gr.gr.aunt Emily HARRIS, formerly OSBORNE nee DRURY (b. Blackwood, Vic) died in Sydney in 1945 and is buried at Old South Head Cemetery with her husband Thank you all so much, you made genealogy very simple today, and this ‘genie’ very happy :-) Sandra Auckland, New Zealand.

Hello Listers In 1909, Canon Charles HARRIS of Hamilton,Vic married Emily OSBORNE (nee DRURY) of Maryborough, Vic in the Chapel of Bishopscourt, Ballarat (I have their Marriage Certificate). Emily is my gr.gr.aunt (his second wife) Some time in the period 1900 to 1908, Charles HARRIS lost his first wife. Unfortunately I can’t read the date. The Marriage Certificate states that Charles had 3 living and 1 deceased child at the time of his second marriage in Oct 1909. Looking for the name of Charles’s first wife please, and where she is buried in Ballarat. There is a burial at the Ballarat Cemetery for a HARRIS, no given name, Sept 1906. This could well be her as I can’t see anything else around this period of time. Also looking for the names of any of his children who may have been born in NSW, but possibly Victoria. A daughter was named May (confirmed in the Death Notice of Charles who died in Sydney in 1934 at the age of 91yrs ) Charles HARRIS was born in O’Connell, NSW, Australia in 1847 Father Henry, a grazier Mother Mary A HURLEY They were married in 1841, Abercrombie District, Bathhurst, NSW Moved to Victoria about 1881 with his Clergy duties. Thank you for any help. Sandra Auckland, New Zealand

Many Thanks to all those who helped me understand more about coach painting - Jenny Riddle, Ada Ackerly, Michele Matthews, Anne Young, and Kenneth Clark. Very much appreciated !!! (Hope I have not missed anyone) Brian Cockerall

'Morning List, I am looking for information on the death of Patrick FAHEY/FAHY, born about 1842 in Tipperary, married Honora FAHY in Carisbrook in 1865. Parents shown as Philip FAHEY and Mary CLAY (could be CLARY or something similar). Honora (Norah) died in Alma in 1882, buried in Maryborough Cemetery, but there is no record of Patrick being buried there. There was an enquiry held before a Justice of the Peace when Norah died - can anyone advise where I might find details of that enquiry? Anne Lemon, from a very quaky Canterbury, NZ

I checked all the Vic bmd indexes - no sign of him. Not even one possibility. I used both la fol*y and lafol*y, and put them in both the surname and the father's surname fields. Someone might find him on the inquest etc cds. Or the mining accidents list looed after by I think Dave Evans.
